You have seen all the other All-America teams….

Now…how about an All-America Team based solely on the most important, and, the most easily understood criteria….STATS.

The staff and contributors of Fantasy College Blitz have compiled…and now reveal….the 2009 Fantasy College Blitz – Fantasy All-America Team.

Also, our All-America Team is loaded with Texans.   The Lone Star state is well-represented with five players from four different Texas universities….and six (counting Defense/Special Teams) that played their prep football in Texas.

Another thing Texas can claim to be “big” about:  Fantasy production from its college football players.

Since we have given you some hints already on who made the FCB Fantasy All-America Team….continue on to see our honorees… Read the rest of this entry →

He plays oufielder for a perennial nationally-ranked baseball program….he rushed for the most yards in California high school football history….he took 21 credit hours of classes this fall semester….he darn near won the Heisman Trophy….

That “he” is Stanford running back Toby Gerhart….who also is our Fantasy College Blitz – Pac 10 Fantasy Player of the Year….repeating the same honor from last season (FCB 2008 Pac 10 Fantasy Player of the Year).

Gerhart (photo, thanks SportsIllustrated.com), a senior from Norco, CA (Norco HS) led the Cardinal with over 1500 yards rushing and 23 rushing TDs (stats quoted are through November 21st games).  Gerhart, who also had nearly 200 yards receiving, was the top fantasy running back, nationally, in 2009.

Joining Gerhart on the Pac 10 All-Fantasy Team are….. Read the rest of this entry →

Venti: Stanford RB Toby Gerhart

Stanford RB Toby Gerhart made a strong Heisman Trophy case with three rushing TD and one passing against Notre Dame in his final game (Icon SMI)

Flat out stud. Durable and clutch. Other than the 24-17 loss to Wake Forest in Week 2 where he inexplicably had 6 second half carries, “Touchdown Toby” has averaged 27-149-2.3 TD per game. And other than the Wake game he has been the model of consistency, scoring in every game and never carrying less than 20 yards or gaining less than 100 yards.

And counter-intuitively, he’s gotten better as the season has worn on, just as other backs are wearing down. Mr. November has run for 742 yards and 13 scores against while facing 4 bowl teams, including 223 and 3 against Rose Bowl bound Oregon and flat out embarrassed the USC Defense in their own house to the tune of 178 and 3TD and was the key in Stanford’s ability to hold on the ball for nearly 19 minutes in the second half.

Grande: Florida’s Tim Tebow

Timmy might not have the numbers of his youth, but no single player has meant more to his school this season. Each and every week Tebow puts the Gators on his back and does not allow them to lose, or at least gets them in a spot to take advantage of a few…ahem…questionable calls by those wonderful SEC officials.

Sure the raw numbers aren’t great. But if I’m building a team, I want Gerhart in the backfield and TD Timmy under center. Maybe it is not the perfect marriage of system and talent, but Tebow may be the greatest college football player in history. Certainly the Heisman is not a lifetime award, dont get me wrong, but the point is Tebow can produce eye popping numbers, we’ve all seen that trick. This year is all he is doing is winning each and every time he takes his team onto the field. Read the rest of this entry →
